SAT Tutoring in Seattle (Washington State)

Manhattan Review has been helping students bolster their SAT scores since 1999. In the past 15+ years, we have worked with high school students and other test-takers worldwide to make the SAT more approachable, the questions carefully practiced. Test-taking strategies are part of the process. We can help you test smarter, with tips and techniques to maximize points and minimize penalties. With confidence and know-how, students enter the exam room and perform at their highest potential. The SAT is a measuring tool that tells admissions departments about the aptitude level of college candidates. The test measures proficiency in reading comprehension, mathematics, and vocabulary. Like school transcripts, extra-curricular and admissions essays, the SAT is an important measuring tool for undergraduate admissions.

Many students studying for the SAT create flashcards and furiously set about a crash course of the high school curriculum. But the SAT tests a completely different curriculum than that learned in a high school classroom. With our years of experience and well-educated tutors, we understand that there is much more of a method to this assessment than meets the eye. The SAT is not a randomized guessing game, and over the years, our test prep company has become increasingly familiar with the patterns and formulaic nature of each section. We may not prepare you with exactly the same question you'll see on testing day; however, once you can answer a certain type of question correctly, the comprehension translates to the whole category of questions.

We have the highest quality test prep materials from SAT practice exams to a proven course syllabus to help students succeed in every portion of the test. With the help of a private tutor, students also have access to personalized support and a custom learning plan to diagnosis and troubleshoot any problem areas. By working on weaknesses, test-takers can gain confidence in the verbal or math sections to score higher.

A high SAT score can help turn a college application into an absolute standout. With our undergraduate advising services, you can plan your strategy to gain admission to your top-choice school. In the past, we have helped thousands of students get into the best-of-the-best, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, Caltech, and University of Pennsylvania. For Seattle area students, the academic institutions are plentiful and the job opportunities prosperous. This is the perfect launching point for a career in any industry, and we will pair you up with a distinguished private tutor who can accommodate your schedule and learning style to improve your SAT score.
